Welcome to a very special Twilight Zone podcast.

It's not the episode that everyone's been expecting, but

every now and again an opportunity gets presented to you that you just can't ignore,

and this is one of those opportunities.

We haven't really touched upon the 80s series of the Twilight Zone in the podcast yet that's

that's something for the future when we're finished with the original series but like I

say I got an opportunity recently to speak to one of the men involved heavily involved in

the 80s series and it was just too good an opportunity to pass up so what better way

of introducing the 80s Twilight Zone to the podcast than this?

Paul Chitlick was the story editor on the Twilight Zone, along with his writing partner, Jeremy

Bertram Finch.

Now, they did contribute an episode to the second series of the 80s Twilight Zone called

Aqua Vita, but then they went on to write several more and to actually story edit the show into the third season now several of those scripts that paul and jeremy wrote are now being released on e-book by a company called digital fabulists and you can go and check them out to digitalfabulous.com and to celebrate

that I got the chance to have a chat with Paul and I'm going to play that for you right

now a word of warning we do spoil probably three episodes and those episodes are

Aquavita the trunk and room 2426 so if you haven't seen those

episodes maybe you want to catch those first before listening to to the interview but anyway

without further ado here's paul chitlake paul i guess a good place to start would be could you

could you maybe tell us about your before you ever came to work on the 80s show?

You know, what was your introduction to the Twilight Zone?

Well, my connection with that was as a viewer and it was pretty religious viewing for me at the time.

And also, I had a great experience with one of those shows.
